العوامل المؤثرة على جودة النوم لدى مرضى النفاخ الرئوي

Abstract

Pulmonary emphysema is considered one of the main phenotypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive and debilitating condition that affects millions worldwide. The relationship between emphysema and sleep disorders is complex and multifaceted. To assess this relationship, the current descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 100 patients diagnosed with chronic pulmonary emphysema. The results showed that the majority of participants (77%) had poor sleep quality, while (23%) had moderate sleep quality. The study also revealed statistically significant differences in sleep quality levels among participants based on current smoking habits, place of residence, and body mass index (BMI). The researcher recommended designing awareness programs for patients and their families that emphasize the importance of sleep quality, explain the connection between the disease and sleep habits, and offer advice for improving sleep quality. Additionally, guidance should be provided to patients living in polluted or noisy urban areas, such as using humidifiers or air purifiers in bedrooms, and suggesting the use of earplugs or sleep masks to improve the sleep environment.
